EXP Subwoofer An audiophile subwoofer with the speed to keep pace with with small  minimonitors and power to play in theater systems The Model EXP Quick Response Active Subwoofer $595 each free shipping   See EXP - Model 5 Subwoofer Satellite System  See Model 10S Armada System

EXP-TYPE-S EXP with 150 watt side mounted amp, 110/220 voltage switch, and built in premium high pass 6 dB per octave filter Price: $695 each satin black, $795 red birch all-wood cabinet "The [EXP] compact powered sub allowed me to play rock and pop music at any reasonable volume, with lots of both mid-bass omph and low end grunt (these are NOT words I associate with small satellite-sub systems). To be sure, there are lots of similarly sized systems out there for those who must hide their speakers from the light of day, but I know of no other that delivers the musical goods at this price range, and with such good looks (if you decide to allow them to peak out from the background). ... These guys know how to make small speakers work in a way few others approach." (From review of EXP and Model 5SE by Positive Feedback Online, 2008) EXP & Model 5 subwoofer satellite system "...this system sounded almost as good as my $10k system." (Richard Cook, Audioreview.com) "The quality of the bass that the EXP delivers is just like that of the 5 and 10S -- tight and tuneful." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com, 10/2000) "...the EXP is on the money with solidity and control and proves ideally matched to NSMs speakers." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com, 10/2000) "The EXP is an elegant-looking package that's attractive enough to sit out in the room..." (Doug Schneider, Soundstage.com, 10/2000) The Model EXP Quick Response Active Subwoofer SPECIAL FEATURES: Magnetically Shielded 100 Watts amplifier Phase reversal switch Auto-on switch controlled by input signal Volume control to adjust output Continuously variable crossover from 40 Hz at 24 dB/octave Direct in switch for Dolby Digital surround sound decoder Line level and speaker level inputs Line level and speaker level outputs 6.5 inch long-throw polypropylene cone woofer Vented band pass design ideal for music and home theater systems Front port allows near wall placement

While many subwoofer manufacturers boast mega wattage subwoofer amplifiers, the quality of the subwoofer depends mainly on the design of the subwoofer itself and the real power of the amplifier depends on its design and power supply. The EXP bears this out. It is one of a very few subwoofers that is fast enough to keep pace with very small minimonitors and the bass is exquisite. Not the one note samba delivered by most subwoofers.     The EXP is a potent, compact, self- powered subwoofer system that is designed for use in high-end music and home theater systems. It uses a special long-throw 6.5 inch woofer that is virtually indestructible and a band pass cabinet design to produce fast, accurate bass response.      The cabinet which is finished in fabric and painted surfaces is a new design based on a unique production method developed by NSM. The driver is mounted in a sealed acoustic suspension sub-enclosure and fires into a sub-enclosure that is vented to shape the response. The design produces faster, more coherent, and more extended bass response and allows the subwoofer to be placed close to walls.      Magnetic shielding, an innovative band pass design, combined with a gutsy full-featured amplifier allows the EXP to provide an exceptional level of performance and flexibility.
